This course is intended for orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation
physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, engineers, orthotists, and anyone
who treats children who have gait deviations.
Course Objectives
Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and
University Hospital Pellenberg (Belgium) will offer simultaneous Level I and Level II
courses on gait analysis. The Level I course teaches introductory skills for analyzing
gait, interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments. The Level II course
is tailored to clinicians who have experience in gait analysis. It examines—in greater
depth—the complexities of gait interpretation for children who have disabilities.
Both courses focus on interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments for
ambulatory children who have cerebral palsy.
Level I Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the kinematics, kinetics and electromyography (EMG) patterns associated
with typical gait
• Identify typical gait deviations associated with muscle tightness, bony deformities
and tone issues for children who have cerebral palsy
• Explain the limitations of, and potential errors associated with, clinical gait analysis
• Demonstrate basic skills in interpreting gait analysis data
• Describe a corresponding treatment plan based on gait analysis data
Level II Course Objectives
*All requests will be kept confidential
I plan to attend
Intended Audience
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize how to use a problem-identification approach to plan treatments based
on gait analysis data
• Describe the influence of biomechanical modeling on the interpretation of gait data
• Describe lever-arm dysfunction and its effect on gait
• Demonstrate basic understanding of the dilemmas of modeling foot deformities and
interpreting data
• Describe the mechanical principles associated with crouch gait and their influence on
gait data
• Explore advanced motion analysis applications
Level II Course Fireside Case Reviews Objective
After case reviews, participants should be able to:
• Describe a strategy to analyze and interpret complex gait data in consultation with
other colleagues

This course is intended for orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation
physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, engineers, orthotists, and anyone
who treats children who have gait deviations.
Course Objectives
Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and
University Hospital Pellenberg (Belgium) will offer simultaneous Level I and Level II
courses on gait analysis. The Level I course teaches introductory skills for analyzing
gait, interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments. The Level II course
is tailored to clinicians who have experience in gait analysis. It examines—in greater
depth—the complexities of gait interpretation for children who have disabilities.
Both courses focus on interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments for
ambulatory children who have cerebral palsy.
Level I Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the kinematics, kinetics and electromyography (EMG) patterns associated
with typical gait
• Identify typical gait deviations associated with muscle tightness, bony deformities
and tone issues for children who have cerebral palsy
• Explain the limitations of, and potential errors associated with, clinical gait analysis
• Demonstrate basic skills in interpreting gait analysis data
• Describe a corresponding treatment plan based on gait analysis data
Level II Course Objectives
*All requests will be kept confidential
I plan to attend
Intended Audience
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize how to use a problem-identification approach to plan treatments based
on gait analysis data
• Describe the influence of biomechanical modeling on the interpretation of gait data
• Describe lever-arm dysfunction and its effect on gait
• Demonstrate basic understanding of the dilemmas of modeling foot deformities and
interpreting data
• Describe the mechanical principles associated with crouch gait and their influence on
gait data
• Explore advanced motion analysis applications
Level II Course Fireside Case Reviews Objective
After case reviews, participants should be able to:
• Describe a strategy to analyze and interpret complex gait data in consultation with
other colleagues

This course is intended for orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation
physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, engineers, orthotists, and anyone
who treats children who have gait deviations.
Course Objectives
Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and
University Hospital Pellenberg (Belgium) will offer simultaneous Level I and Level II
courses on gait analysis. The Level I course teaches introductory skills for analyzing
gait, interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments. The Level II course
is tailored to clinicians who have experience in gait analysis. It examines—in greater
depth—the complexities of gait interpretation for children who have disabilities.
Both courses focus on interpreting gait data and planning associated treatments for
ambulatory children who have cerebral palsy.
Level I Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the kinematics, kinetics and electromyography (EMG) patterns associated
with typical gait
• Identify typical gait deviations associated with muscle tightness, bony deformities
and tone issues for children who have cerebral palsy
• Explain the limitations of, and potential errors associated with, clinical gait analysis
• Demonstrate basic skills in interpreting gait analysis data
• Describe a corresponding treatment plan based on gait analysis data
Level II Course Objectives
*All requests will be kept confidential
I plan to attend
Intended Audience
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize how to use a problem-identification approach to plan treatments based
on gait analysis data
• Describe the influence of biomechanical modeling on the interpretation of gait data
• Describe lever-arm dysfunction and its effect on gait
• Demonstrate basic understanding of the dilemmas of modeling foot deformities and
interpreting data
• Describe the mechanical principles associated with crouch gait and their influence on
gait data
• Explore advanced motion analysis applications
Level II Course Fireside Case Reviews Objective
After case reviews, participants should be able to:
• Describe a strategy to analyze and interpret complex gait data in consultation with
other colleagues
